The search for the right SUV to buy will have you looking at all sorts of brands and subcategories of the SUV class, which isn&#39;t something every car shopper wants. But, at our Mazda dealership near Perry Hall, we have three new Mazda SUVs for sale that cover the most popular SUV categories. From a sleek crossover to a three-row midsize SUV, the Mazda lineup has it all, and we have many offers for each of the three models. Read more below about what to expect from our new Mazda SUV offers!</p>
<h3>New Mazda CX-3 Near Middle River</h3>
<p>The naming of the Mazda SUVs is easy as the <a href="/new-mazda/cx-3-aberdeen-md.htm">new Mazda CX-3</a> is the smallest of the bunch, and the models get larger as the numbers go up. While compact, the Mazda CX-3 still possesses a roomy cabin where five passengers can enjoy a range of amenities, and the cargo space is a functional area ready to hold all sorts of different items. Plus, the compactness of the Mazda CX-3 gives it stunning looks and an exceptional driving feel from its efficient engine.</p>
<h3>New Mazda CX-5 for Sale</h3>
<p>If looking for a bit more passenger room, cargo space, and power, the <a href="/new-mazda/cx-5-aberdeen-md.htm">new Mazda CX-5</a> is another two-row SUV providing just that. It has lots of rear-seat legroom, which helps when often driving four other adults, and the cargo space is excellent for when you&#39;re going camping or on moving day. The Mazda CX-5 also has the driving feel the brand is known for, and it provides a versatile engine with plenty of power, and there are smart safety measures and convenient features coming standard!</p>
<h3>New Mazda CX-9 Near Bel Air, MD</h3>
<p>Finally, we come to the lone three-row Mazda SUV: the <a href="/new-mazda/cx-9-aberdeen-md.htm">Mazda CX-9</a>. The Mazda CX-9 seats seven comfortably even if you&#39;re an adult in the third row, and the folding rear rows also make a capable cargo carrier for even the largest items. This stunning midsize SUV also comes with top-of-the-line features, such as ventilated seats, and a terrific package of safety features that will have parents feeling confident in their SUV purchase!</p>
<p>Does one of those descriptions sound like what you want, or are you looking for more info? Come on by our Mazda dealership in Aberdeen, MD to experience these <a href="/new/mazda-suvs.htm">new Mazda SUVs</a> in person and talk with our team about them!</p>Thu, 05 Sep 2019 20:01:37 GMThttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2019/september/5/which-of-the-new-mazda-suvs-is-right-for-you.htm?locale=en_US2019-09-05T20:01:37ZSee how the Mazda CX-5 stands out against top rivalshttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2019/may/10/see-how-the-mazda-cx-5-stands-out-against-top-rivals.htm?locale=en_US
<img onerror="this.style.display='none'" src="https://dealerdotcom.webdamdb.com/embeddables/display.php?size=550&amp;webid=wijIfblq6c11" />
<p>Models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V have been sitting pretty at the top of the small crossover pile for years, but the Mazda CX-5 has been quietly persevering and sneaking up on those heavy hitters. Several years ago it might have been considered a second- or third-tier option, but that definitely isn&#39;t the case anymore! Just one look at the Mazda CX-5 at our Aberdeen MD dealership and you&#39;ll see why this is now a #1 pick for drivers from Bel Air MD and beyond.</p>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>In the past you&#39;d only expect to find true, exhilarating performance with a luxury model, but Mazda has proved you don&#39;t need to spend top dollar to have fun behind the wheel. All Mazda CX-5 crossovers come with G-Vectoring Control, and this makes back road adventures, highway road trips, and zippy city driving a lot of fun. The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 aren&#39;t bad rides, but they aren&#39;t nearly as fun as the Mazda CX-5!</p>
<p>To help ensure your Mazda CX-5 stays in great shape, our <a href="/service/center.htm">service center</a> and <a href="/parts/index.htm">parts center</a> teams will assist with scheduled maintenance and any repairs should they arise.</p>
<h3>Looks</h3>
<p>The Honda CR-V has a solid reputation, but its looks are pretty polarizing. The Toyota RAV4 went through a 2019 model year redesign that&#39;s nice, but we feel it&#39;ll be dated in just a few years.</p>
<p>Luckily, that&#39;s not the case with the Mazda CX-5. It&#39;s widely known as being the most beautiful model in the segment, according to auto journalists, and it even stands strong against luxury models from Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and BMW. Its style is sophisticated, timeless, and is sure to turn heads around around Perry Hall for a long time.</p>
<h3>Premium Amenities</h3>
<p>Since the Mazda CX-5 is bold enough to go up against entry-level luxury models like the Audi A3, BMW X2, and Mercedes-Benz GLA, designers made sure the model had premium features. On the top Mazda CX-5 there are nappa leather seats, an active driving display, and real wood and metal trim. Those features are nowhere to be found on the Honda and Toyota competition, and they really do give the luxury team a run for their money.</p>
<p>If you&#39;re ready to see what the Mazda CX-5 inventory has to offer, stop into our dealership this week. We&#39;re proud to carry all the trims so you can see the long list of features in person, and while you&#39;re here we&#39;ll review <a href="/financing/index.htm">financing</a> options for buying or leasing.</p>Fri, 10 May 2019 20:06:09 GMThttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2019/may/10/see-how-the-mazda-cx-5-stands-out-against-top-rivals.htm?locale=en_US2019-05-10T20:06:09ZWhy Buy a new Mazda CX-3 near Aberdeen, MD?http://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2019/april/15/why-buy-a-new-mazda-cx-3-near-aberdeen-md.htm?locale=en_US

<p>If your intuition is telling you that you need a bigger vehicle, then you should probably listen. But if your brain is telling you not to get something big and clunky, that&#39;s something you should probably take into consideration, too. And then, of course, there are matters of the heart with which to contend; namely, you probably crave a vehicle that&#39;s sporty, feature-packed, and fun-to-drive. Well thankfully the new Mazda CX-3 provides the modern features, practical versatility, and sporting performance you want from your next crossover or SUV! And if you like the Mazda CX-3, you&#39;ll be glad to know that we have plenty in-stock here at Cook Mazda, serving Bel Air, MD and beyond!</p>
<h2>Mazda CX-3 Model Highlights</h2>
<p>The Mazda CX-3 is your premier small crossover choice from Mazda. Offering seating for five passengers or up to nearly forty-five cubic feet of cargo, the Mazda CX-3 proves itself to be quite the capable vehicle for your Perry Hall or Middle River travels. What&#39;s more, with its standard alloy wheels, fog lights, and its bold exterior, it&#39;s also a vehicle you&#39;ll never tire of seeing.</p>
<p>Inside the cabin, you&#39;ll appreciate the many standard amenities, like a seven-inch infotainment system and ample soft-touch materials. Upgrading to synthetic or genuine leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel and seats, navigation, and more, adds even more appeal. Even if you&#39;re not the upgrading type, though, you&#39;ll appreciate that the new Mazda CX-3 offers a range of standard safety features like automatic braking, cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring.</p>
<p>We&#39;d be remiss if we didn&#39;t mention that every new Mazda CX-3 benefits from a standard Mazda SKYACTIV&reg;-G 2.0-liter engine, helping you have more fun during every drive while also maximizing efficiency.</p>

<p>Here at Cook Mazda, we want nothing more than to foster a car buying experience you&#39;ll never forget. Car buying by nature can be stressful; whether that be due to budget constraints, worries about fair pricing, stress over the model selection, quality assurance, and more, the list goes on. At Cook Mazda, we have been in the automotive business for a long time, and we can assure you by exceeding all expectations when it comes to quality, pricing, and customer service, we can build a car buying experience that you&#39;ll never forget. When you browse our used inventory, the budget-conscious driver will find plenty to get excited about.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why shop Cook Mazda for pre-owned inventory if you are a Bel Air or Perry Hall driver?</p>
<p>There are multiple advantages to shopping used for Middle River drivers, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Pricing:</b> Pre-owned inventory comes at a significantly reduced price, this can be attributed to the natural price drops that occur over time with increased usage, or as time goes by.</li>
<li><b>Selection:</b> Used inventory isn&rsquo;t limited by brand, year, or model. In a pre-owned selection, you can find just about anything. Depending on what you are searching for, you can find Nissan models from 2003, a 2017 Mazda3, or a Ram truck. Your dream car, truck, or SUV can enter our used lot any day, so make sure you check out what we have to offer frequently!</li>
<li><b>Fewer Fees and Useless Features:</b> While not always the case, and varying tremendously from dealership to dealership, used inventory tends to be less of a hassle; the price tends to be more straightforward, as there are less accompanying costs.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Further, while having the latest technology might be worth it to some, for others paying thousands for more advanced radio doesn&rsquo;t cut it. With a used model, you&#39;ll get exactly what you are looking for at a great price: a dependable, quality, and inexpensive vehicle.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>At your convenience, stop by and take advantage of what we have to offer at Cook Mazda.</p>Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:53:48 GMThttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2019/january/2/used-inventory-to-take-advantage-of-at-cook-mazda-in-aberdeen.htm?locale=en_US2019-01-02T15:53:48ZWhy Winter Can Drain Your Batteryhttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/october/30/why-winter-can-drain-your-battery.htm?locale=en_US

But it&#39;s not necessary. If you understand extreme winter temperatures affect your battery, and you know how to test for a strong battery, you can drive all winter stress-free.</p>
<p>Winter temperatures cause the battery to lose amperage, which means the battery has to work harder to get everything up and running. The chemicals within the battery begin to change, which automatically would affect the starting of an engine. But when the battery has to work even harder to charge up in cold temperatures, altered chemicals make the battery do twice the amount of work. A battery that is weak won&#39;t be able to sustain through the winter and you&#39;re stuck in a parking lot.</p>
<p>Bring your vehicle by Cook Mazda for a battery test, and a full vehicle exam, before winter takes hold.</p>

Many drivers value simplicity, practicality, and reliability above all else when it comes to our cars. This has led us to believe that we have to operate on a no-frills basis to get the best value and reliability from our choices. Fortunately, Mazda thinks outside the box and is giving us another choice.</p>
<p>The all-new Mazda CX-3 is a prime example of blending simplicity and elegance through conservative yet very advanced features. The 2.0 liter engine is not only fuel-efficient, but very reliable and safe. The advanced acoustics of the cabin allow for excellent hands-free conversations, audibility for GPS, and the ability to hear the surrounding environment to your always aware when you&rsquo;re on the road. Along with this, and advanced dashboard system keeps you from having to look at your phone, and an active driving display means that you can always know where you&rsquo;re going with no distraction.</p>
<p>To experience this blend of elegance and simplicity for yourself, visit us today at Cook Mazda for a test drive.</p>

<p>Cook Mazda wants you to do all that you can to stay safe in the driving that you do. There are times when the sun&#39;s glare will keep you from seeing the road as you need to see it and we want to help you stay safe in those times.</p>
<p>It can be helpful for you to put the visor in your car to use when you are driving in a situation where the sun&#39;s glare is getting in your way. You might not think that the visor will help much but there are situations where it can make a real difference. It is important for you to drive with your headlights on when the sun is glaring down to keep your vehicle visible to others.</p>
<p>We want nothing but the best for you always. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, come to Cook Mazda to test drive something that we have available for sale.</p>

Get the car to a flat area off the road. It is fine to ride the rim a few feet to get the car away from oncoming traffic.</p>
<p>Loosen the lugs slightly, then safely position the car jack under a steel support or part of the frame. Once the flat tire is not in contact with the road, loosen all the nuts and place them safely to the side. Take the tire off. Position the spare tire on the studs evenly and straight, then hand tighten the lugs.</p>
<p>Tighten all the lugs so the tire is secure, then slowly lower your car and tighten the lugs nuts. Bring the vehicle to Cook Mazda if you would like the tire treads to be evaluated.</p>

<p>When you are using your vehicle&#39;s roof rack, make sure that you have someone around to help you load heavy cargo onto that rack. You do not want to damage the paint on your vehicle because you are struggling to load something on your own. Make use of the lock that is part of your roof rack to keep your cargo safe.</p>
<p>A roof rack gives you extra space that you just do not have inside of your vehicle. The team here in Aberdeen would like to see you make use of everything that your vehicle offers. Contact us with service needs that you have.</p>

<p>If the battery in your car is showing signs of failing, you can test the strength today with a simple voltmeter.</p>
<p>Before opening the hood and making your way to the battery, be sure the car engine is off and you are wearing safely eye-wear and some heavy-duty gloves.</p>
<p>The voltmeter is a simple device that only has two color cables, one black and the other red.</p>
<p>First, attach the red wire to the plus side terminal on the car battery. Next, attach the black wire to the battery terminal labeled minus.</p>
<p>Turn on the voltmeter, and observe the reading. If the number is above 12.4, then it can still hold a charge and has plenty of power. When the meter comes back with a 12.2 or less, then you will have to consider getting a replacement.</p>
<p>If still concerned, come to Cook Mazda and <a href="/service/center.htm">our service team</a> can diagnose if any issues exist throughout the charging system.</p>Mon, 30 Apr 2018 17:04:00 GMThttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/april/30/car-battery-testing-basics-using-a-voltmeter.htm?locale=en_US2018-04-30T17:04:00ZWhen You Need New Headlightshttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/april/24/when-you-need-new-headlights.htm?locale=en_US
<p>Having good working headlights can mean the difference between you seeing or not seeing something clearly at night. What may appear to be a headlight issue, may just be a minor burnt out bulb. Visit us at Cook Mazda and let us look at your vehicle and advise you accordingly.</p>
<p>When our headlights failed to work for in the past, we would simply replace the easy headlight. It was easy and quick. Today, a lot more technology is involved in headlights, and replacing them isn&rsquo;t quite as easy and may not always be necessary. It could be the bulb, the entire headlight or an electronic short someone in your vehicle. Your headlights may also just need to be restored to their former bright color. Make headlight maintenance part of your vehicle&rsquo;s routine maintenance.</p>
<p>We offer a full line of automotive services, including headlight replacement and maintenance. Stop and see us in Aberdeen, MD or <a href="/service/center.htm">schedule an appointment today</a>.

<p>There are few things that are more important than making sure that the vehicle you drive is safe. And one of the most important aspects of vehicle safety is making sure your tires are in good condition. This means making sure your tire tread is in good shape. If you are not sure how important your tire tread is, then I would like to go over a couple reasons why it is.</p>
<p>Adequate grip - This is probably the most important reason why the death of your tire tread is important. If your tire tread depth is too low, then you will not have as much traction on the road. This could cause your vehicle to slide on the road, which could be a disastrous situation.</p>
<p>Longer distance to reach a complete stop - If your tire treads is too low, then it will take longer for your vehicle to reach a complete stop. This means having to start braking sooner, or risk rear ending the vehicle in front of you.</p>
If you need service on your tires <a href=" https://www.cookmazda.com/service/index.htm">schedule an appointment</a> with our service center today.

<img src="https://cdn2.webdamdb.com/md_TFkPDUzI3baw.jpg?1493048595" />
<p>When your engine overheats, it is generally something that could have been prevented if aware of the warning signs.</p>
<p>A critical component of the engine is the coolant system which depends heavily on coolant fluid to consistently flow and cool the engine. Because an engine can reach temperatures of 2,000 degrees, a decrease in the fluid level can be highly detrimental to an engine; resulting in overheating.</p>
<p>Additionally, the radiator hoses play a significant role in the flow of the fluid. Over time, radiator hoses become worn and deteriorate. A warning sign that a radiator hose has deteriorated is a noticeable &ldquo;bulge&rdquo; near the clamp; however, a hose can also develop a hole which will leak fluid and cause an engine overheating.</p>
<p>You can also prevent an engine overheating by not ignoring a coolant dashboard warning light. Contact our <a href=" https://www.cookmazda.com/service/center.htm">service center</a> here at Cook Mazda in Aberdeen, MD for an appointment if you identify any of the engine overheating warning signs.</p>Mon, 02 Apr 2018 15:31:54 GMThttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/april/2/early-warning-signs-can-prevent-engine-overheating.htm?locale=en_US2018-04-02T15:31:54ZWhat Should You Know about Break Fluid?http://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/february/12/what-should-you-know-about-break-fluid.htm?locale=en_US
<p>Brake fluid, the hydraulic fluid that fills the brake lines in your car, is responsible for making your brakes stop the car when you press your foot on the brake pedal. Your car&#39;s owner&#39;s manual will provide information about how often brake fluid should be changed for safe, efficient driving.</p>
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UEWR_sYcULg" width="560"></iframe>
<p>Brake fluid can also degrade during normal driving conditions, and manufacturers typically specify the type and grade of fluid each vehicle requires. If the fluid has deteriorated, or there are other signs of braking system trouble, it should be changed. Cars may require a change of brake fluid once a year, or once every two years.</p>
<p>Our service department at <b>Cook Mazda</b> can check the quality of your brake fluid and how well your braking system is working. We are located in <b>Aberdeen, MD</b> and offer appointments for brake checks and service at convenient times.</p>Mon, 12 Feb 2018 15:15:21 GMThttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/february/12/what-should-you-know-about-break-fluid.htm?locale=en_US2018-02-12T15:15:21ZBe Aware of Changing Tire Pressureshttp://www.cookmazda.com/blog/2018/february/12/be-aware-of-changing-tire-pressures.htm?locale=en_US
<p>The weather happens to play a major role in how you inflate your car tires. It is that time of the year when you don&rsquo;t want to overinflate your tires. On the other hand, underinflating our tires during the winter season is also a major problem. So, how do you make sure you don&rsquo;t spoil your tires as a result of different weather conditions?</p>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dtTU_gnpFgE" width="560"></iframe>
<p>Most modern cars come with a tire pressure monitoring system that is activated the moment you deviate from the recommended inflation pressure on your tires. In the case where your car does not have this technology, you can always consult your car manual for details on tire pressure during different weather conditions.</p>
<p>Once you have done that, you can visit our dealership, and we will be able to check your tire pressure using a modern tire pressure gauge system. The values provided will inform you of the next steps to take.
